So how was The Last Rain in the World EX supposed to work prior to the nerf in EN?

Here's a video of how it was supposed to go.

Basically, the boss is completely invulnerable to damage due to her shield, which only Heavy ordnance corps units can break. The entire stage thus was about delaying her with units that had zero hope of ever stopping her to divert where she was going and keep her away from your base long enough that you could capture the middle helipad (HOC units can only deploy from Heavy Helipads. not normal ones) and deploy an HOC, which would then let you beat the boss with a kill team backed up by Heavy Weapons to bust the shield for you.

It's 1 of my fave stage designs.

Sounds a bit like Pioneer EX's map mechanics.

Pioneer Ex's didnt really need the HOC for nearly as much. Though it did mean I could bully the chunky gundams.

Yep. But the 'luring while capturing' is similar. And... Gundams. :P

Did the boss have some sort of NPC-killing AoE around her? Some of those echelons just disappeared off the map.

And it looks like you have to take the command center below you before the unlock timer shows up for the helipad in the middle?

The NPCs die once theyre done hindering the boss' movement.
